Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a Special Issue of Nutrients entitled “Dietary Habits and Nutritional Status of Different Population Groups in Relation to Lifestyle Factors and Nutritional Knowledge”.
A balanced diet is one of the most important factors in the human health status. It is one of the factors that can help people to live longer with a better quality of life. Inadequate nutrition can increase the risk of non-communicable diseases in all age population groups. Statistics indicate that such diseases are responsible for about 80% of premature deaths because of cardiovascular diseases, followed by cancers, chronic respiratory diseases, and diabetes.
Due to the occurrence of numerous nutritional irregularities in the diet of people from various population groups, it seems advisable to undertake research to verify the impact of several factors on the diet and dietary habits. Factors currently considered are related to lifestyle (physical activity, smoking, alcohol consumption, use of other stimulants, etc.), as well as eating behavior and nutritional knowledge.
Knowledge regarding the degree of implementation of current dietary and lifestyle recommendations in various groups of a healthy population can detect possible mistakes in this area and prevent abnormalities in nutritional status.
